=Host Lt Goodbody says:
==Apache's crew has been ordered to join the second wave in the invasion =of Luzon. However, upon moving into position, they have found themselves =part of the first wave and given new orders to recover the USS Long, =intact if possible. Commander Linard has been sent to help Lt. Goodbody =to lead the team for her recovery.

=Host Lt Goodbody says:
=Japanese fighters have moved in on their position and are =currently battering Apache with heavy gunfire. Casualties have been =reported and so far one plane has been shot down.
=20
=Host Lt Goodbody says:
=There has been some success so far on how Apache's crew =ended up in 1945, but no word yet on how to return to their own time.

=20
=CSO_Storal says:

=20
=SO_Yeung says:
=XO/CSO: What about the Apache's generator? Or maybe the Long's?
=20
=CSO_Storal says:
=XO/SO/STOP: Yes we did use the transporter to permanently reverse the =effect of the phasing. We wouldn’t need to do that. All we need =to do is bump us thru the tear. And I believe that he can create enough power to do so.
=20
=CSO_Storal says:
=SO: the Longs could do it.
=20
=Host Lt Goodbody says:
=ACTION: The Long sits dead ahead with the remains of a =kamikaze plane rammed into her side just above the waterline.  She's =listing heavily to port and appears to be taking water at the head.

=20
=CSO_Storal says:
=XO/SO/STOP: The problem is I need to modify Teddy with out =being seen. His discovery could really alter the timeline.
=20
=STOP_Turnbull says:
=XO:  We need to get buoys around the bow and stern to keep =her above the water line, Commander.  If we take her in tow like this we =WILL lose her, and possibly the Apache.
=20
=Host XO_Linard says:
=::nods:: STOP: Agreed. Get a boarding party to attach the =buoys....
